Best method of radio installation

[andywynn]

Hi Guys, I am about to order in a QQS Yak 54 102". But i want to know the method of radio installation. I am going to be using Hi-Tec 5955TG servos (2 per aileron, 1 per elevator and 1 maybe 2 on the rudder). Is it best to use a powerboard or matchboxes with a seperate battery backer? The power board i was thinking is the powerbox professional 40/24. But was wondering if the matchboxes would be do the same job for half the money and less weight. Also if match boxes are ok are JR matchboxes ok to use with Hi-tec servos? Or do Hi-tec do their own?

Cheers in advance guys

With hitec servos you do not need matchboxes, you use their programer to match the servos and as far as the powerboxes I would use them as this many servos would draw a lot of amps, in my case I would go with the smat fly turbo regulator and power expander and 2 batteries for redundancy.
